It would be nice to get the basic Kconfig symbols in place to support
this, for when the build does support bindings in modules. And you
should be able to use the same symbols now, just with slightly
different semantics.

The binding should have its own Kconfig Symbol, something like
RUST_PHYLIB_BINDING, with a depends on RUST and a depends on
PHYLIB. At the moment that should just cause the binding to be
compile/not compiled as part of the core rust support. The dependency
on PHYLIB will also ensure it is built in the correct way.

In the future, it can be used to build the binding as a standalone
module, built in, or not at all.

The PHY driver would then have a depends on RUST_PHYLIB_BINDING.
